The Grand Canyon from riverside is natural beauty at its most dramatic! Spectacular colors, sheer cliffs, layers of rock, the sparkle of light on water, the green of desert plants.
This watercolor painting was created at Cardenas camp during a 21 day rafting trip through the Canyon. The Colorado River tumbles past. On this afternoon the water was blue green and clear. The cliffs on the north bank rise in colorful bands to Apollo Temple butte, Venus and Jupiter Temples beyond.
The piece is done long and slender in “scroll” dimensions, and is painted to the edges of the watercolor paper. It is ready for “top mounting” with a shadowbox effect. Or you can choose to mat and frame the piece in traditional fashion.
This is an original plein air watercolor on 140lb. cold-press textured Watercolor Paper.
